Unifor Rights at Work LIVESTREAM

Unifor is organizing a series of leadership meetings right across the country – and we will be live streaming our meeting in Halifax on February 26.

Unions exist to make conditions for workers fairer and safer, across all sectors and workplaces.

The central work of unions - collective bargaining -benefits all workers and it gives them a greater say in their working conditions.

But this isn’t possible though without the laws that make unions and bargaining feasible. Conservative politicians – in the federal government and provincial governments across Canada are trying to dismantle these laws.

The suggestion that Conservative politicians are concerned about workers and jobs couldn’t be farther from the truth. Conservative attacks on labour laws are not about choice, but removing choice for workers, in favour of business.

Unifor is standing up for your rights at work – and your right to even have and exercise these rights.

Historically and today unions are an agent of equality and fairness. Together, we need to ensure that unions are strong so that we can continue to push for greater workplace rights, living wages, retirement security and other social benefits.

More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we’ve always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all, while striving to make it sustainable as well. Media isn’t free to produce. rabble’s total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our main supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help. You are what keep us sustainable.

rabble.ca has staked its existence on you. We live or die on community support -- your support! We get hundreds of thousands of visitors and we believe in them. We believe in you. We believe people will put in what they can for the greater good. We call that sustainable.

So what is the easy answer for us? Depend on a community of visitors who care passionately about media that amplifies the voices of people struggling for change and justice. It really is that simple. When the people who visit rabble care enough to contribute a bit then it works for everyone.

And so we’re asking you if you could make a donation, right now, to help us carry forward on our mission. Make a donation today.
